A little Catching Up

Well, we're back by popular demand. Ok, we're really back by demand since the only people who asked where we've been were family members. They need their Megan fix afterall. Looking back at the archives shows us that we haven't posted anything since the middle of May, so I'll start there.

Pam took one of her vacation weeks and tied it to the Memorial Day Holiday and the Smith's packed in to the car and headed to Northern California to visit many people. We left after work, and planned on driving as far as Meg would allow us. She melted down in Redding, CA at about 11:30 PM and we spent a night at the Holiday Inn Express.

The next day around lunch time, we arrived in Lincoln, CA for a visit with Nana and Grandpa (Pam's parents).
As you can see, Meg was thrilled to be there :) We visited for the weekend and then continued on our trek.

The plan was to introduce Megan to some of Pam's friends from college and med school (and their own children) and also to stop for a visit with my Aunt Kate. We made our way to Sebastopol, CA on Sunday night and had a nice dinner and visit with Kate.

On Memorial Day, we hopped on over to Napa to visit Pam's friend Betty, her husband Jimmy, and their daughter Sabrina. They took us out to to a great Italian Bistro for lunch and the kids had a great time getting to know each other.

After lunch, we went in to the city to visit another of Pam's friends--this one from college. We spent the afternoon walking through the Presidio Park and hanging out at the playground.

Finally, we headed back to Lincoln for dinner that night and finished up the week hanging out with Nana and Grandpa.
